  1. That's what the campaign is for. Equal rights for gay, lesbian, bi, trans, etc.
  2. I'm well aware of what a 4 cylinder is capable of, and I am quite familiar with all types of racing. You said you've never seen one, so I showed it to you. Rhys Millen has taken a few RWD cars up Pike's Peak, including setting two records in the Solstice, which I think he broke this past year in the Genesis.
  3. It's an equal sign (equal rights). Putty - How the heck did that guy get plates on his FXX?? I didn't think they were street legal? Unless maybe it's a kitted out Enzo. Awesome.
  4. Then you don't know enough about rally. There are plenty of RWD cars, including Mustang's, that have run rally events. http://www.stangnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/rallymustang.jpg http://m80im.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Rally_Chapter_01.jpg http://images.mustang50magazine.com/featuredvehicles/p67390_large+1995_Ford_Mustang_GT_Rally_Car+Front_Passenger_Side.jpg
  5. The banks can come after you YEARS down the road for the money you owe. The rules are goverened by the state's, with some being worse then others. What most people don't realize is that the same holds true in a Short Sale. Usually the bank will have you sign a form that says you understand you are liable for the debt, and they can decide to come after you for it for x number of years. In Florida the banks have up to 5 years to file for a deficiency judgement, and once granted they can attempt to collect for the next 20 years. Some states are tighter. Banks can tap your accounts or your pay check in order to recover the funds, with interest. I thought I heard of another state where the bank had x years past the original term of your loan to come after the debt. (Meaning if you had 25 years left on your mortgage they had 25+x years to get the money back) Here's one article about it. It's been in our local news a lot recently because of the large number of forclosures and short sales in MI. You could search the http://www.freep.com page for the week long series they had, if you need to find more info for your hypothetical, http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Mortgage-lenders-pursue-cnnm-3107909798.html?x=0 The number of deficiency judgements being filed by the banks are increasing, and people that 'strategically foreclosed' are going to be financially f^c#ed for quite some time.
  6. I think he's saying that the Cobalt wouldn't get traction with 500 HP. It's the same engine as the Sol/Sky, so they're equally as capable.
  7. There are Cobalt guys putting down ~500 HP on a stock bottom end. You can do ~400 HP pretty easily. (Swap the turbo and flash the ECU)
  8. Wow, looks great. I am loving these new Cobra's.

    DIY Alignments

    I used to set toe with a measuring tape and a friend. I'd measure on the front and back side of the tire using a tread groove as my mark. Seemed to to be fairly accurate.
  10. Also FYI - There was an interior update of the JGC's in the 08 or 09 model year. (pretty sure it was 08).
  11. Are you going to bump every thread in the oven?
  12. A co-worker of mine found a rock in a box of raisens. He contacted the company, sent pics of the rock, and they sent him an envelope to mail it back in along with a bunch of free raisens. They said that they sift the raisens through small grates that only allow the raisens to pass through, while catching other large objects, like twigs. Sometimes a raisen sized rock can slip through. They wanted it back so they could try to figure out how to make the process better/catch more rocks from passing through.

  14. The new JGC's look great inside and out.
  15. The SRT8 handles pretty well, although the stock tires understeer a lot in the wet. The ride in the back seat can be a little rough. I don't know about any other issues since I only drive them when new.

    Coming Soon!!!

    It's not my car, just someone I sold a manifold to and discussed a project with. It was just put on his car about 2 weeks ago, so who knows how it will hold up.

    Here is is on a Solstice. http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs470.ash1/25794_10150118743860464_376982380463_11188881_584122_n.jpg http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs470.ash1/25794_10150118743905464_376982380463_11188882_5519108_n.jpg http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs470.ash1/25794_10150118743980464_376982380463_11188884_2942094_n.jpg http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs450.snc3/25794_10150118744045464_376982380463_11188885_6051334_n.jpg http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs450.snc3/25794_10150118758255464_376982380463_11188914_5327790_n.jpg http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs470.ash1/25794_10150118758395464_376982380463_11188919_2275393_n.jpg
  18. It's not the legal medical groves I speak of, it's the large grow houses, the homes with greenhouses out back, and the large amount being grown my illegals in the state parks. K2 sounds like pretty nasty stuff. Supposedly one kid even ended up in a coma after smoking it. The hospitals are seeing more and more people coming in with nasty side effects from the stuff.
  19. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/26/speed-network-to-bring-my-car-is-better-than-yours-inte/ I know at least a couple people on this board who should try to get on this....
  20. As I understood it, it's not legal to grow in the 'emerald triangle,' the local authorities just look the other way. Federal authorities are trying to crack down on it, but there's too much for them to handle. It's becomong a big problem in the national parks. I've heard of some nasty effects from this 'synthetic marijanana,' and it's probably best to stay away from it.
  21. Say what you want. I think it's awesome. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/0324001633-1.jpg
  22. Saw this beauty today. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/0324001633a.jpg
  23. That was part of it... Maybe my legs were too tired to unclip I got better at dismounting after that.
  24. Yeah that was a nice trail. It whooped my butt too, since it was the first ride I ever took on my bike and you guys took me ~28 miles (?)! It's been a while and I need to dust off my road bike. Nothing fancy, ~1994-ish cannondale R400, i think. It's the only bike I've ever seen them make that is all polished Al. Thanks for the tip on Google maps. I live near a lot of bike trails and I like to see how they all link up.
  25. I don't know about sloppy, because it didn't look that bad to me. Although I would like to point out that in almost all those clips there are no other skidmarks on the pavement, which means he did it in one take, unlike the Block video's that are pieced together and edited from multiple takes.
